They’ll be in handcuffs for violation of California Penal Code section 236,įalse Imprisonment. Manager my police ID… and told him that the next time anyone does that, Told him Iĭid not have to present a receipt and asked for a manager… showed the I showed him my receipt and PHYSICALLY BLOCKED ME FROM LEAVING. Of this today, the Best Buy security refuse to let me leave the store unless Thanks for sharing your story of Best Buy door nazis. Here is something else I found on the net and a link: I hear Walmart policy is only to pursue you to only 10 feet from the door. They cannot do anything to you if you refuse. You agree to inspection with the membership at sams, which you sign. She said it was what the employees were told to do and that they could lose their jobs if they didn’t. I explained that I was told it was illegal. I walked out of the store to find myself turning right back around into it. I do not know how he finally got a hold of my receipt, but he did, and put the colored slash on it. I told him it was illegal and he persisted. I refused to show mine at Walmart just yesterday 04/14/07 when the man at the door argued with me after I told him that I did not have to and said he had to do it. In Japan, this is calling the person a criminal and a severe breach of culture. I’m now planning to visit a Costco in Japan in my next trip there and see if Costco attempts to search the belongings of Japanese as they exit. The part about Costco eliminating your membership unless you permit them top breach your rights under the 4th Amendment is a throwback to the challenges faced in earlier civil rights battles. If you permit someone to breach your rights under the Bill of Rights in The Constitution, what other human and civil rights are you willing to lose and why do you complain about people who want to retain their human and civil rights? All of this needs to be tested in both criminal and civil court. So many people here miss the points about Costco obstructing your exit, requiring you to provide your property to them to deface, then inventorying your belongings, then after they are satisfied, they permit you to exit their store.

It’s plainly obvious to both the customer and the poor sap assigned to the duty that they aren’t remotely able to actually match my receipt to what’s in my cart. However, subjecting customers to TSA inspired inspections of pointlessness is an indignity and annoyance. Now I can see posting someone at the entrance to stop would-be pilferers from leaving “out through the in door.” I can even see posting someone at the registers just to observe customers who might “accidentally” slip the latest issue of the Weekly World News into one of their shopping bags. To use the same metaphor as my earlier post on customer service, this is like gun control – it mostly punishes those who obey the rules. Oh, of course you’ll hear technical sounding terms like “loss prevention” and “shrinkage oversight,” but honestly, this is a feeble show that provides no actual enforcement against theft – but immeasurable big-ass boatloads of aggravation to the 99% of customers who actually paid for their purchases. As if a five second inspection is actually going to correlate the contents of my cart to my receipt? They will make a cursory examination of your cart, check your receipt, and then expertly apply a colored slash. And they don’t want to know how long you’ve owned these droids. You thank the cashier, load the bags back into your cart, and head for the door – but wait! Here to block your progress is some prepubescent teen or kindly septuagenarian brandishing a highlighter like Obi-Wan has just introduced them to the Force. Items are scanned, bagged, and ultimately, purchased.
